Trek to the Holodeck

What happens when you take an "I Think You Should Leave" sketch and make it Star Trek? Terminal Provocations! Mariner and Boimler help Ensign Fletcher (TIM ROBINSON) recover a core while the Cerritos goes toe-to-toe with an alien salvage ship. Oh, and Tendi & Rutherford go on a training mission that goes horribly wrong in... THE HOLODECK!

What happens when you take an awesome sci-fi premise (planet phases between corporeal and non-corporeal state every 60 years) and turned it into a chemistry-less love story? Meridian! This Brigadoon-inspired episode is a certified snoozer, but is saved by a B-plot featuring Jeffrey Combs in his first Star Trek appearance as a bigtime creeper who wants a copy of Major Kira for personal use on... THE HOLODECK!

And now the conclusion...

... to our first Trek to the Big Screen as we review 1996's Star Trek: First Contact! Featuring Henri Boulanger, a guest host from fellow podcast "Frames and Fools." We break down perhaps the tightest, densest holodeck scene in all of Trek canon as Picard takes Lily to... THE HOLODECK!

Three klingons and a trill symbiont walk into Quark's bar. They've all taken a blood oath to kill somebody called "The Albino" - except two of the klingons aren't so sure about the trill. So they ask her to prove herself in combat in... THE HOLODECK!

This EARLY Star Trek: Voyager episode may just be an all-timer! Harry Kim gets himself all sorts of stuck in his Beowulf holodeck program. Shortly thereafter, Tuvok and Chakotay get sucked in, too. The solution? Send Voyager's greatest holographic warrior, The Doctor himself, on an way mission to... the HOLODECK!

What, exactly, constitutes a Trek to the Holodeck-certified "Snoozer"? There's nothing quite outrageous about Okona, a Han Solo knockoff whose ship doesn't even have real phasers. Perhaps the most "outrageous" thing Okona does is convince Data to try his hand at comedy, leading Data to... the HOLODECK.

Are you ready for a luau on the USS Voyager's holodeck? How about teen romcom levels of romance? Kim falls in love with a holodeck character, who in turn falls in love with... Tuvok? What's going on?! This episode features some legit Hawaiian shirts and also the consensus WORST Vulcan: Vorik.

Get ready to experience one of The Next Generation's most David Lynch-esque episodes as the Enterprise-D simultaneously develops a subconscious (in the holodeck!) and... reproduces?! It's "Trek" at its best, as the crew takes every measure to avoid having to harm this strange new life. Oh, and there's a little Shakespeare to top it all off.

This episode may feature one of the shortest holodeck segments in all of Trek canon, but it does have one thing going for it: Vulcan foreplay. Tuvok is Pon Farring bad and he needs an outlet. Oh yeah, and meanwhile OFF the holodeck, Jeri Ryan crushes it as The Doctor possessing Seven of Nine's body. It's a classic Season 7 episode!
